  1. indeed indeed....
    I'm soooooo excited right now... it's amazing what a stupid video can do!! hahaha


  3. Hmmm...it's probably one of the most useful videos to this day

  4. So I was right, the title is going to be "No Line On The Horizon", keeping with the long titles of the previous two albums.

    No, the beach recordings, while quite hard to hear the lyrics, give you a shockingly clear taste of what the album sounds like.







    don't think we can make serious assumptions on the new album based on the beach clips, they surely offer something, but for one the audio is more or less crap and you can't really hear everything going on, they definitely wet the appetite, but I don't feel like i have heard the new album just because I have heard some shoddy fan recordings on the beach, my interest is just more than peaked
  6. i called this title a year ago as soon as i read that sundance interview

    the name no line on the horizon is right up u2's alley

    i hope they end up releasing it soon (as in november) with no announcement or promotion. that would be the ultimate statement, especially if it was a double album. and that would be the only realistic way to release the cd before everyone just downloads the leaked version weeks prior, you cant leak something if youre not expecting and searching for it. i think u2 is the only band that could possibly get away with a surprise like this and still sell heaps of copies.

    aside from that, i dont think u2 is really going for copies sold and metal records. i get the feeling they want critical respect from the music scene which they dont seem to have. i expect a lot of technical guitar work and thought provoking music with complex beats and a unique style, bono's part will be icing on the cake. i think this time it will be truly about the music and nothing else. i just dont see them making this record a commercial beast though it will be regardless because it will be quality.
  7. A snap release would be awesome.

    Bono also mentioned the songs revolve around numbers. Maybe No Line On The Horizon refers to different times of the day. About the beach clips, they could be giving us an insight into what the sessions sound like. The final songs could be something completely unusual - and the title sounds like a melody, and with Eno in the sessions, it could be anything.

    Interesting. And cohesively, they could possibly make a whole (day)--the whole could give us the concept album.
    Maybe.

    Also, back in that interview that mentioned the song with "It's six o'clock," wasn't the first song played for the interviewer called No Line on the Horizon? So we do know that that's the name of a song--but we still don't know if it's a single or the album title, right?

    We're not sure what it will end up actually being. One song did come out of that interview, the one with ''Here's to you, Ronnie Drew'', so technically we did get a new single this year.

    technically, it's not a U2 song


  11. Not completely, but then you could say The Wanderer doesn't belong on Zooropa, When Love Comes To Town wasn't a true U2 song, North Star doesn't belong on any forthcoming album, The Saints Are Coming, Don't Give Up, Rockin' In The Free World and Tower of Song weren't proper U2 songs, either.

    They all had the same concept of other singers taking parts or taking over almost completely.


    Sure it is connected with NLOTH... That Bono shot looks like a cover shot for the album to me...


    Now, I don't think it is for a cover shot. Listen to the first few seconds where someone says "playback". Playback is for a video shoot of some kind. Looking at the video, it looked like the Please video, right towards the end.

    wellllll those songs were written by U2, as a band and happen to have been collaborations as well, Ballad of Ronnie Drew, was a collaborative effort that U2 was involved with but it's just as much a Sinead O'Connor song as it is a U2 song for that matter, or a Corrs song, so many people were involved with it, i'm just saying it's not a "formal" U2 song
